Use 3D gestures to trigger actions in your Arduino projects!

Juan sent this great Arduino project in! Thanks Juan 🙂

I put together a project video showing how to program an arduino to detect
3D gestures using a cheap accelerometer. The video shows how to get an
arduino pro mini hooked up to the MPU-6050 accelerometer, and visualize the
accelerometer data on a graph to help in programming the gestures. The code
is up on my github as well: https://github.com/juancgarcia/SerIOGrapher

I plan to incorporate this technique into other projects I have on the
backburner, but in the mean time, I wanted to share in the hope some other
makers/hackers might find it useful.
